This sounds like a convenient cover-up for lousy parenting. Kids are more out of shape because they spend 4-10 hours a day in front of the computer or TV set or playing video games, whereas in the past didn't have these things to distract them. I think there are many statistics that show violent crime is lower now than it was in the 80s or 90s.
